Liebe LEGO-Leute,

einige werden sich fragen, was diese Ankündigung hier soll.
Es geht um eine Konferenz "Research in Mind Games", die in
Pisa im Rahmen des europäischen Go-Kongresses 2018 stattfindet.

Wenn Ihr die Liste der möglichen Topics durchschaut, findet
Ihr auch den Punkt "Games and LEGO®". Einige ahnen wohl, wer
für diesen Punkt gesorgt hat. Er ist jedenfalls ernst gemeint.
Zum Beispiel könnte ich mir Realisierungen von Brettspiel-Computern
als LEGO-Roboter vorstellen.

Interessenten können bei mir weitere Infos erfragen.

Ingo.
